Weasel Head Painting

Right now I am in the process of getting a mask painted by Doug Wager from Weasel Head. It all started with a good deal on ebay for an Itch 9601, and from searching the board you all made up my mind to go with Doug. He is a true pro and just a great guy. I started talking with Doug early in the year and emailed back and forth and talked to him on the phone to set everything up. I then had some problems with the parents and the mask got put on the back-burner. Needless to say I forgot about the whole mask conversion and delt with what was a hand. Everything ended up find with the parents and Doug called me see if everthing was alright on my end about half way through because I said the mask was going out 3 weeks earlier and he held my spot. I expected a scolding, but was told not to worry about the mask. As it turned out the parents are great and might out live me. My mask is being painted with sort of a life story and that story was changing. Doug had my first thoughts and had no problems changing his art to my changing story. The mask will be posted in the "mask" section but I just thought the this painter should recieve a bit more credit for all that he has done

I agree. Doug is a very talented artist and an equally nice guy. You made the right choice in having him paint your mask. Good Luck.

Doug is working on my mask right now. Can't wait to see how this turns out, I've heard (and seen) nothing but good things about weasel head.

I'm having a "Supreme" job on my Hackva. The theme is going to be be around the Crimson King from the Dark Tower.

Doug has been real cool about everything and even said he will be able to get me the finished product by the first week of August.

Can't wait to see the first sketches, etc.

Will post pics as I get them.

Posted these pics in the CWD thread. Since a lot of mask wearers avoid that thread I'll post them here. A job well done by Doug.

Mx, Is that a "Supreme" job?

Also, since I am getting mine done as well I've been thinking a lot about it. Does anyone know what level the "Supreme" package is? Is it the highest level Doug does, or is it an "affordable alternative"?

The reason I ask is that there are many maks he has in his general gallery but only a few in the Supreme gallery. Personally, I think they all look great so the designation of "Supreme" is nill to me. Just curious.

the supreme paint job just gives you more then a paint and clear coat quick run, this is what he offer's with the supreme. Doug's is top notch he is in the process of painting my new protech and painted my calcoat i can say nothing but good things about his work.
I would highly recommend this service to anyone,

The Supreme paint program offers customers top end service for reasonable price. For $600.00 USD you will get NHL level of service. There will be no extra charges for artwork, or return shipping (this applies to US customers, Canadian clients will have to pay a modest shipping fee). Also included are extras like dyed straps and or buckles. I do require a $200 deposit before the work begins, The balance upon completion. It truly is a great value.

Here is what you get with the Supreme paint Program:

-All artwork, sketches, and designing are included.

-Any specialty paints and mixes are included.

-Hand Buffed multi-clear finish.

-Dyed Straps and or buckles are included.

-Weasel Head Custom Designs hat is included.

-Return Shipping is included.

-Please, no trade-ins on Supreme paint programs. $200.00 deposit required.
